It's never too early to start Christmas shopping.....

One of A Reader's Respite's daily internet stops is Matthew Gasteier's hysterical blog called F.U., Penguin. All those cutesy animal pictures floating around out there? Matt skewers them and is one of the reasons that A Reader's Respite is seriously considering buying Depends next time we're at the pharmacy.

In fact, Matt is so funny that his blog was recently published as a book. This book, in our considered opinion, is the perfect Christmas gift for anyone with a sense of humor.



F U, Penguin is a collection of Matt's very best and checking out his blog is the perfect preview of his book.

Check it out...you'll laugh, we promise.

    I'd never heard of this guy, but he is seriously brilliant. Can't decide whether the captions or his self-promo is more funny. It's all so much more meaningful after a long steady diet of lolcats, too.
